I'm fine with that. The truth is that they are starting to turn into one of those bands where you can take any song from any album and put it on another album and it fits. Basically, the same thing everytime. Mylo Xyloto just felt tired to me.

Why? Are you forced to listen to them, or go to their concerts? I may not like a certain artist, but that doesn't mean I want them to "go away". I just change the channel.

I guess it's unimaginable to think that a girlfriend actually likes their music and drags you along to see a man flopping around like he's the second bono on a stage.
I've never seen such gross misuse of a rhyming dictionary than with this band.

This is good news. The band needs to reboot. Their last two albums have been a bit unfocused.

I think Viva is their best album but a mile. Wasn't as hot on Mylo, but I liked it.

My wife likes lots of music I don't like, and visa versa. We don't bother each other with Ke$sh or Van Halen when we are with each other. If she wanted to go see Ke$sh, she can go with her sister/friends.

I think people are too harsh on Coldplay. Yea, Mylo Xyloto wasn't the best album ever, but even at their worst, they still had some integrity left even when working with someone like Rihanna. Why bag on them when you have a group like Maroon 5 who are the biggest sellouts on the planet and will do anything for a hit record?

A Rush Of Blood To The Head was one of the best albums of last decade, and while they never matched that greatness, they've been consistent.

Explain how they still have integrity even after working with Rihanna. If anything spells the loss of integrity, it's that.

Well they still have some strong tracks on the album like Up In Flames, Major Minus, Up With The Birds, etc...

Compare it to how Maroon 5 have completely castrated themselves and killed off any trace of rock/funk that was all over their early music so they can be a Katy Perry-type pop band for housewives. Maroon 5 sold out in the Rod Stewart type of sense where all credibility is dead while Coldplay could flirt with the mainstream and not completely scare off their original fanbase because they haven't completely severed themselves from their genre.

This is the first time they'll ever have been featured on a movie soundtrack.

I think "featured" might be the key word. I think it means it's the first time they've recorded an original song for a movie soundtrack and it's kind of the "official" song of the film... as opposed to simply having a previously existing song on the soundtrack - which they're on at least 4 movie soundtracks that I know of.
